Chick Lyall - Broken Poems

Review by Gustavo Funk

Chick Lyall's "Broken Poems" is a beautiful and haunting album that showcases his incredible talent as a pianist and composer. Lyall's music is deeply emotional and introspective, with each track telling a unique story through its intricate melodies and complex harmonies.

The album opens with "The Long Road Home," a hauntingly beautiful piece that sets the tone for the rest of the album. Lyall's playing is delicate and restrained, but there is a sense of urgency and yearning that runs throughout the track. This theme is continued throughout the album, with each song exploring different aspects of loss, grief, and hope.

One of the standout tracks on the album is "Broken Poem," a stunningly beautiful piece that showcases Lyall's incredible skill as a pianist. The track is filled with intricate patterns and complex harmonies, but Lyall's playing is so effortless that it feels like he is simply telling a story through his music.
